Hi all. Absolutely loving my Note 9 and coming from my Galaxy S5, its like coming from a flip phone. Not that my S5 was bad or anything but 4 yrs of development in mobile technology really shows.
I was wondering what changes would you initiate if you were DJ Koh? Here are mine and they are all software related that could be done by OTA updates.
I would have the battery % of the S pen at the top like the phone battery. I would also have the choice to flash an alert on screen in the way of a floating icon when the S pen battery gets to your nominated level. If you tap the icon you would snooze the alert until the S pen gets to say 10% battery and then the alert is permanent until the S pen in recharged.
Camera modes in pro mode. I would be able to preset my own custom modes in pro mode which then could be added to the list of camera modes. I would have a toolbar called My Modes which I could drop all my custom modes in. If you swipe the camera modes to My Modes, all the other modes disappear and you then have your selection of custom modes. To go back to preinstalled camera modes you would press on My Modes and the other camera modes reappear.
Always on display. Instead of having an infinite choice of colours for the home screen AOD and only a few for the lockscreen, I'd reverse that so you could choose the perfect color that is balance of legibility and battery consumption. Also, I'd enable a couple of other options.
Like sync to alarm. I would enable an option in settings where AOD could be synced to your morning alarm so that it appears automatically a nominated amount before your alarm goes off. I can't be the only person who uses AOD only to check the time in the morning only. It would be nice for an easy way to set AOD so that its on only for that brief period, especially if you're not getting up the same time each morning.
And lastly, I'd like an easy option to set AOD each time the phone is charging to see battery percentage, again for people like me who only use it for very limited times. And I'd like a set of themes specific for AOD when the phone is charging so I could have a really large font that I could easily glance across the room to see my battery charge. I'd want this because I wouldn't have such a large font for my morning alarm AOD as it would consume too much battery.
These are my ideas. What are yours?
